Good news for anyone who doesn't already know, but after 6 months of service you'll be making $46K if you get hired on with Phoenix. AZ must really need a lot of recruits, because it seems like the salaries are always going up these days.

I moved to AZ 3 years ago, this August. I lived in NY for 20 years previously so for me, the cost of living in Phoenix is great. (In NY you need to work 6 jobs just to pay your ridiculously high rent.) Anyway, I live in Peoria right now in what I would consider a very safe, middle-class community and I own a townhouse. Most homes near me are going for about $275K - $300K, and they are good sized homes, (1,800 - 2,100 sq ft) and they're fairly new. A lot of them I see have been on the market for 3 months to half a year because the market has gone down a lot since last year and people got the shaft with those variable APR mortgages. Anyway, you can probably get a good home for $250k if you talk them down.

1. I have a very high credit score.
2. My significant other also works full time.
Even if I was working alone off of $46k, I could do it. It would be tight for a few years, but it can be done. If my credit score was like 600, then I don't think I'd have a chance.

I highly doubt you could swing 250k house by yourself off 46k. My father makes a little over 50k and our house is 140k and we're "comfortable" unless you were eating ramen noodles and didnt have a car payment

of course no 2k hirieng bonuis either
It all works out in the end. You will get your 6 month PMG raise, and then the 4% in July. Look it up in the MOU, your pay level will still be higher then new hires. The only thing you might miss out on is the signing bonus.
BTW, how is FTO?
